Nickel‐Catalyzed, Regio‐ and Enantioselective Benzylic Alkenylation of Olefins with Alkenyl Bromide

A NiH‐catalyzed migratory hydroalkenylation reaction of olefins with alkenyl bromides has been developed, affording benzylic alkenylation products with high yields and excellent chemoselectivity. The mild conditions of the reaction preclude olefinic products from undergoing further isomerization or subsequent alkenylation. Catalytic enantioselective hydroalkenylation of styrenes was achieved by using a chiral bisoxazoline...
